Answer:
3.5kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let original weight of grapes in box be X and weight of grapes in basket be Y.
From the first sentence
X = 2Y (weight in box = 2 times weight in basket) --- (1)
If you add 2kg of grapes to basket, the weight of grapes in basket = Y + 2
From the second statement
Y + 2 = X + 0.5
Subtracting Y from the LHS gives 2 = X - Y + 0.5
Subtracting 0.5 from both sides gives 2-0.5 = X - Y or X - Y = 1.5 --- (2)
Substituting for X from the first equation in (2) we get
2Y - Y = 1.5 or Y = 1.5kg
But this is the original weight of the grapes in the basket. Since we have added 2 kg of grapes to the original weight, we get the weight of grapes in basket now as 1.5 + 2.0 = 3.5kg
Answer:
mary has 135 coins.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the coins that john has be x
and coin mary than = 3x
according to the question equation is

x = 180 / 4
x = 45
coins mary has = 3x
=3*45
=135
-7 and -.9 are two possible addends
